You are invited to participate in a newly created curriculum highlighting lifestyle medicine competencies, the recommended foundational approach to preventing and treating the majority of chronic diseases affecting Americans.

This 2-day symposium, with special key modules in nutrition and weight management, was developed from a complete lifestyle medicine curriculum recently created by the American College of Preventive Medicine and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.

Boost your knowledge, practice and understanding of lifestyle medicine in this symposium, just one segment of a comprehensive course that will serve as the foundation for recognition and future certification in the field. Key modules in nutrition and weight management will be covered as well as the 15 physician lifestyle medicine competencies identified by a national blue ribbon panel and published in JAMA. The competencies focus on the clinical processes that ensure quality lifestyle interventions for prevention, treatment, and reversal of chronic diseases.

Key learning objectives include:

Describe the fifteen LM competencies for providing quality lifestyle medicine services and explain how to integrate the competencies into clinical practice

Lifestyle topics beyond nutrition and weight management will be covered in other segments of the curriculum available later in 2015.

The American College of Preventive Medicine would like to thank our generous sponsor of the 2015 Lifestyle Medicine Curriculum Symposium.

Lifestyle Medicine

Lifestyle medicine is a defined scientific approach to decreasing disease risk and illness burden by utilizing lifestyle interventions such as nutrition, physical activity, stress reduction, smoking cessation, avoidance of alcohol abuse, and rest. Lifestyle medicine is the recommended foundational approach to preventing and treating the majority of chronic diseases currently facing the United States and most Western based cultures.

Lifestyle Medicine is a branch of evidence-based medicine in which comprehensive lifestyle changes (including nutrition, physical activity, stress management, social support and environmental exposures) are used to help prevent, treat and even reverse the progression of many chronic diseases by addressing their underlying causes.

The American College of Preventive Medicine is the national medical specialty society of physicians dedicated to disease prevention, health promotion and systems-based health care improvement. ACPM is the leading U.S.-based physician organization focused on practice, research, publication, and teaching of evidence-based preventive medicine.
